Each questioned is scored between 0-3 points from right to left. All 10 questions must be tallied for an accurate total score between 0-30 points. A higher score indicates a larger effect, but no validated score banding descriptors has been published.

If you are concerned that your eczema may not be well controlled, please seek medical advice. Bring your completed test results with you at your next scheduled consultation and speak to your doctor with the help of the test results to describe how your eczema is affecting you.
